July 19 is the day the
long-awaited Neverwinter finally lands on the PS4. Indeed, for three years, PS4
owners have been locked out of this free-to-play title, but that wait is now
over. The announcement regarding the PS4 port of the game was made at the
beginning of June, but back then, no actual release date was given. That hurdle
is out of the way now too.

Based on Dungeons and Dragons,
the PS4 version of the game will include all the content released thus far,
which means nine expansions and no fewer than 8 playable classes, which make
for hundreds of quests. Because it's free-to-play, players will not need
PlayStation Plus to play. All one needs to do is to jump in really. The game
comes with all the iconic characters and locations like Icewind Dale and
Underdark.

The Neverwinter Head Start Pack
is an extra launch-option, which makes it possible to those who simply cannot
wait till July 19, to start playing on July 12, a full week ahead of everyone
else. This option costs about $22 though, however, besides early access, it
delivers on other fronts as well: it comes with an Onyx Horse mount, an Onyx
weapon and a 20-pack set of Enchanted Keys.

Though it's gotten through no
fewer than 9 expansions thus far as said above, Neverwinter will continue to
expand after its PS4 launch too. A 10th expansion pack is in the works. Called
the Storm King's Thunder, this expansion will offer an explanation to why the
Giants have returned to the Forgotten Realms.

The first iteration of the game
came out on 2013 for PC, earning mostly good reviews. By all accounts, the game
is indeed a good one, and now PS4 players will be able to partake in all that
goodness too...
